The majority of information in the book really hit home, as someone who struggles with insecure attachment.

This was one of those rare self-help books where I stared reading it and then thought, “oh gosh, this is me.” Relatable right from the get-go for some of us with a particular kind of anxiety and other thought pattern challenges. It’s enlightening and the steps for improvement are surprisingly simple (of course, implementing them is a separate challenge!). This is fantastic if you relate to some of the struggles the book describes.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC.

“Overcoming Insecure Attachment” feels like me to a tee. I felt like I could relate to almost everything Tracy Crossley wrote as I read.
This is not meant to be read in one go and for you to say, “I’m done!” You have to take the time to read and implement the exercises. Reading without putting the information into action is pointless. At that point, why even bother reading it at all? You must read the foundation in order, but once you get to the sections about the steps, you can skip around as you please. “Overcoming Insecure Attachment” is something that I will read again and use when I need to.

I've been in therapy for this same issue and this book is spot on. My therapist is actually excited to read it as well!

I am a people pleaser and stuggle with insecure attachment. I misread other's feelings and assume that I know what they are thinking, especially when it comes to their thoughts about me. One thing that I have learned while trying to improve myself is that it takes time and deep understanding. I have been reading all sorts of books and I find so much value in reading things that I am aware of, agree with and disagree with. Overcoming Insecure Attachement is Crossley's vulnerable conversation about anxious and avoidant attachment types and how to over come them. Some books I have read are much more science dense where this feels like a human conversation. To me, the conversations really helps ease some of the shame I feel and helped me unpack some emotion baggage. This is a great read!

I didnt know how badly I needed this book. In 2022 I decided I was done clinging on the people because i tend to choose the wrong people to do this with. I like the phrase "insecure attachment" and that is definitely a problem I have and something i look forward to saying "I used to have" soon.

Thank you NetGalley!

Overcoming Insecure Attachment by Tracy Crossley provides insight into insecure attachment and actionable strategies for developing healthier attachments. The author is vulnerable in discussing her own attachment patterns and working through them. Great follow up read after Attached.

Love is hard, especially if it doesn't come easy. Tracy's "Overcoming Insecure Attachment" is a practical and insightful read that is bound to help any person desiring to heal, experience more integration, and engage in wise strategies to help overcome insecure attachment. Well done!

This book talks through many topics, such as reactions, triggers, your emotional baggage, and all the other things we bring into our relationships... like just our personality type. It talks about how perfectionism can lead to unhappiness, but so can people pleasing... and personalising everything. It's a great book for getting you to think about the patterns and habits you and your partner have taken on. It's written in more of a conversational style, with examples, than research-driven, so depending on the reader, some may prefer this, while others may find it too conversational.
Thanks to NetGalley for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review
